Biography from TheMovieDB

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, writer/director Eric Bair found his passion for storytelling and filmmaking at a young age when he saw one of his favorite films, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Once he got his hands on his first camera in High School, he took his passion further by producing films with his friends that ranged from comedies to action to horror. After graduating from Archbishop Mitty High School, he attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco to hone and advance his skills as a filmmaker. During his years of study, he created numerous short films including his senior thesis project, "Living Dreams". This film brought his first award win for Best Director at the Academy of Art Filmfest and he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Motion Picture & Television Degree in Directing. That summer, he traveled to Southern California to further pursue his career with the creation of multiple spec commercials including the top ten winning "Dibs, too Good to Gamble" and filmed two back to back award winning short films: the horror, "Derelict Abyss" and the comedy, "Male Order Bride".

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
